Can Institutions Keep Up? The Geothermal Readiness Challenge

Geothermal technology is advancing rapidly, opening new opportunities for energy production worldwide. But are our policies, regulatory frameworks and institutions ready to keep pace?

In this IGA Academy Expert Session, Dr. Marit Brommer, CEO of the International Geothermal Association, explores the institutional challenges that could determine the future of geothermal development.

Drawing on international examples, she will introduce the Geothermal Institutional Readiness Framework, examining five critical dimensions: mandate, capability, adaptability, investability and accountability.

The session will explore how governments, regulators and industry stakeholders can prepare for technological change, create favourable investment conditions and enable responsible geothermal development.

Who should attend?
Policymakers, regulators, geothermal developers, investors and professionals involved in geothermal policy, governance and project development.

Technology can unlock the resource. Institutions determine whether it can be developed.
